it is called a Crest.
Means exactly the same as Plaque, but in naval terms it is the ships crest

When any ship is being built , it is not 'named' until it's launch , a simple 'yard number' suffices. On the day of launch , the ship is 'sponsored' by a dignitory , such as a Royal Family member or the wife of a very senior naval officer.. As soon as the Lady says "I name this ship 'Blah , Blah , Blah' , it's now 'named'. The plaque is called the 'Ship's Crest'. Some ships in RN history have had their names changed on launch , but built as an 'intended' different name.[e,g The Frigate 'HMS Dido' [F104] was originally to have been the 'HMS Hastings' : Hastings never materialized.

It is called the Plaque, not suprisingly.
I call mine either the emblem, sheild, logo, or just that wood & enameled gizmo near the entrance.
But it is not Royal Navy, just a narrowboat.
It has on navy ships been called - "The thing, when arriving back on board a bit wobbly, in port, is the best indicator that you are aboard the correct vessel"
There you go,
Bob.
